I feel like it's reasonable to hire someone at a lower level due to lack of years of experience.
Down-leveling after the fact is a punitive act. My guess is the years of experience thing was just an excuse for some business initiative to cut costs or was a personal attack on the OP.

- krob 5y agoYears of experience is relative to the company, and software type. Companies like Google, production products are likely on a totally different level than almost any other product in existence. So 10yrs at none google company is not equal to Google engineering. What plays into all of this is the complexity of the problems they solve at scale, and level of academic sophistication. Map software, search engines, Google app suite gui products are not simple or easy to build.
